Reinforcement Learning based DBMS Buffer Pool Auto-Tuning for Optimal Memory Utilization

arXiv:2608. 11239v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Administering Database Management Systems (DBMS) instances requires Database Administrators (DBA) to balance performance in terms of Service Level Agreement (SLA) against resource usage, often prompting RAM over-allocation that wastes memory.

HeaPA: Difficulty-Aware Heap Sampling and On-Policy Query Augmentation for LLM Reinforcement Learning

arXiv:2601. 22448v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: RLVR has become a standard recipe for training LLMs on reasoning tasks with verifiable outcomes, but when rollout generation dominates the cost, efficiency hinges on which prompts are sampled and when.

TideRL: Boosting Agentic RL Goodput with Readiness-Aware Scheduling

arXiv:2608. 10402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Reinforcement learning (RL) for large language models is moving toward multi-turn agentic workloads, where rollout tasks repeatedly pause for external environments, resume with growing contexts, and finish at highly variable times.

Hybrid-Adaptive Thread Tuning to Mitigate Simulation Execution Bottlenecks in High-Performance Reinforcement Learning Inference

arXiv:2608. 06025v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In simulation-in-the-loop decision-making systems, reinforcement learning (RL) inference is often constrained by simulator-side execution overhead, where workloads are highly dynamic and sensitive to runtime thread configurations.

Adaptive Inference Batching using Policy Gradients

Inference serving systems must balance throughput and latency under bursty, heterogeneous workloads, yet the industry standard remains static batching policies that require manual tuning and cannot adapt to shifting traffic. We investigate whether reinforcement learning (RL) can learn adaptive batching and routing policies that outperform these heuristics, training REINFORCE and PPO agents on a discrete-event simulator validated against queuing theory and production traces (Azure Functions, BurstGPT).
